Do you have a million plastic grocery bags floating around? I know I do. Since having our little ones, I have found that they do come in handy. I use them for anything from packing a quick lunch, to keeping them in the diaper bag for dirty diapers and wet clothes.
After we started keeping these bags from grocery trips, I found that they would end up stuffed in our kitchen cabinet and would attack me every time I went to grab one.

There HAD to be a better way! This is an easy, DIY solution to keeping those bags under control and at your finger tips.
Make one of these DIY Coffee Can Plastic Bag holders to keep in your home, your car or even your office…you never know when they will come in handy AND having organized cabinets? It’s a win-win!
Here’s another fun tip-if you are using these for diapers or other soiled items, you can add a few drops of essential oils (any scent) to the bottom of the container. The bags will come out smelling fresh and keep the bad scent locked in longer!
4 Step DIY Coffee Can Plastic Bag Holder
This is a great way to re-use both the coffee container and the bags! Very clever! I can’t wait to try one
Thanks! I am all about re-using items!
I love a good DIY! Would have never thought to do this on my own – great idea!
This is great! I never know how to store all my leftover bags but can’t convince myself to throw them away!
How cool, you guys are so resourceful….you put me to shame…LOL
What a clever idea! It certainly helps with keeping all of those plastic bags together. Seems like we have a lot of them.
That’s so amazing! I’ve never thought that before, I’ll give it try to myself.
Great idea! I have a lot of plastic bags and I don’t really like throwing them out, such a waste. This is an awesome way of storing them! Thanks for this!
That’s a smart invention. I never know where to keep those bags, but I def. never want to throw them away.
Very clever! I have a cupboard stuffed with them. I am going to do this!
I should do this to free up space in my cupboard. Great tip!
Oh, I like this idea a lot. My extra plastic bags from groceries drive me crazy. I’m going to do this,
I have one of these that I made back when I first got married.I put some cheap shelf paper on the outside to match my kitchen. I still use it to this day.
Such a great idea-it has certainly helped with my ‘roaming bags’ problem!
This is awesome! I love DIY,I wanna try the plastic bags idea. Thanks for this.
Very clever to the one who taught abt this.
What a cool idea! I need to find someone that drinks coffee to swipe one of those cans.
I use wipes containers too, they work wonders!! You could also use a used clorox wipes container, or even a pringles container (just cut a hole in the top of the lid!)
Great idea! I have so many plastic bags in my pantry and this will be a cool way to organize them. .
That is a great idea. I keep shoving my bags in this IKEA holder I bought but it’s impossible to get a single bag out when I need it. Thanks for sharing!
i have to say this is very very clever. i love how you get more use out of both items.
This is a genius hack that I need to employ ASAP! I have a bag of bags — yep, you read that right! — in my bathroom that is pretty much taking over an entire corner of the room.
OMG! My husband has one here at home! I’m totally trying this out.
Totally sharing this with my mom! She has millions of bags in her car and this would be a perfect way for her to organize the mess.
Love how another one comes out as you pull one out. I have one of those hanging cloth things in my laundry room where I store my extra ones. Sadly, I throw away any extras that don’t fit. I use these bags for my small trashcans throughout the house, and go through quite a few of them
This is really clever and very handy especially when you travel.
I have tons of ecobag, not so much the plastic ones. I just put them all in a pile now. 🙂
